Here’s a look at what’s “out there” about traffic, transit and transportation in Oregon and around the globe (no matter what the clock says, it’s always the morning commute somewhere):

We’re calling it: Sizzle Pie dreamed up Portland’s best April Fool’s gag. Aaron Gray, who was parked under the Morrison Bridge in Produce Row, was one of several motorists on Tuesday who received what, at first blood-boiling glance, was a parking ticket. Here’s his tweet:

I contacted the local pizzeria's East Burnside location to confirm that the parking ticket for a free slice was legit. “Yep,” said the man who answered the phone Wednesday night, “that was us. Listen, we’re busy. Gotta go.” Like Sizzle Pie's loaded "Ol' Dirty" pizza, the fake parking tickets are made spectacular by the extra toppings. For instance, notice the devilish "P.O.Box 666" and the postal code on the yellow envelope. Hilarious.
